China has been selected as the destination for the next World Cancer Congress organized by the International Union Against Cancer. UICC and its hosts, the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association and the Chinese Medical Association, are pleased to announce that the congress will be held from 18-21 August 2010.

The World Cancer Congress 2010 will focus on primary prevention, screening and early detection, treatment and management, supportive care, end of life, as well as on how programmes, infrastructures and resources are integrated into existing delivery systems. Best practices and the challenges of maximizing effectiveness, efficiency and outreach in different resource settings will be an important aspect of dialogue and debate.

With the support of our hosts, UICC will offer you a unique opportunity to join your Asian and International peers and colleagues in cancer control to learn, exchange knowledge and best practices, network, and also discover the history, art, culture, cuisine and scenic surroundings that China can offer. Save the dates 18-21 August 2010 in your diary.

We look forward to seeing you there!
